Bistro Sandwiches

Review Summary

La Trinquette is described as a charming small bistro with real potential, where the staff are still finding the rhythm and service can be slow at times from water and menus to meals. The food is generally good and well priced, with fried chicken getting especially strong praise. The kitchen has been recently reopened, which may explain some hiccups, while the atmosphere is cozy with a courtyard fire, a DJ, and a terrace to look forward to in spring. The team is described as friendly and attentive, delivering service that can make for excellent evenings despite occasional delays. Taken together, the reviews indicate a warm, convivial spot worth revisiting for the food quality, the vibe, and the outdoor seating when the weather improves.View restaurant profile
